Now, I'm not going to rule out them getting some of the technology down and releasing it under patent or what-have-you and someone else building a "let's make lithium batteries" plant, but that'll probably be about 5-10 years after it opens at the shortest, 17-20 years more likely.
That said, I know nothing about what Tesla's internal workings are and even less about making a lithium battery. So I could be totally off the mark.

They actually are partnering with Panasonic heavily, and intend to sell (or Panasonic sells, I forget the exact details) batteries to all markets.
